I based the piece on the early 70s "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree" song, Written by Irwin Levine and L. Russell Brown and recorded by Tony Orlando and Dawn. I'm specifically referring to the first verse:

I'm comin' home, I've done my timeNow I've got to know what is and isn't mineIf you received my letter tellin' you I'd soon be freeThen you'll know just what to do if you still want meIf you still want me
